I remember seeing this on RAGE early on Saturday morning before it took off on the charts and my wife said to me that this was gonna be huge, I scoffed at her knowing the John Legend had never had a Top 50 hit in Australia.We all know the story, it was a television promo that gave this song the exposure it should never have gotten which kinda takes away alot of the polish for me.

In short: I thought it was cool to see John Legend get a hit here because he's cool and talented, but his earlier 'noteworthy songs' are higher placed on my shelf, with the lyrics really letting this one down even though there's a genuine passion behind them.

Also this gets in my good books because thanks to the wonder of leap years and ARIA changing their dating system, I've only twice ever had an ARIA chart dated for my birthday, and in those two instances, the #1 hits that I got were "Lose Yourself" and this. So while I'm not huge on this, I could have done A LOT worse, so bless you John Legend for keeping me safe for at least 6 more years. 3.5
